Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for processing a sequential database natural language query. A process model is preprocessed to generate mapping data structure(s). The mapping data structure(s) map elements of the sequential process to other elements of the sequential process to thereby identify sequential and dependent characteristics of the sequential process. A sequential database natural language (SDNL) query interpretation engine is configured with the mapping data structure(s) and natural language processing is performed on a query to generate extracted features. The configured SDNL query interpretation engine operates on the extracted features and the mapping data structure(s) to generate intent information for the query. Executable database queries are generated based on the intent and executed on a database to return a response to the query.
